Nerves trembled through my body, rivers of sweat drenching my shirt. They will know. They will catch me! Act normal; just act normal! The officers watched me with faces made of stone as I passed the gate.
Greenlight. Now, just the bag.
Holding my breath, I watched it go through the scanner. The officer glanced at me, then moved the bag closer.
His words washed all of the stress away. "Have a safe flight, sir."
I thanked him with a smile and got away. The beer can I had bought still safely hidden in my clothes.
Screw you, overpriced airport bars.
LOL, I'm so thick. I was initially going. Why would the biker use his credit card to eat his takeaway? Surely, there was disposable cutlery there??? Then, I visualised what he was doing and put 2 and 2 together. Duh LOL
Airports are my least favourite place. Last year, my daughter had major spinal surgery, and we had to fly from one side of Australia to the other to get home. She was emaciated from the surgical ordeal, she couldn't walk more than a few steps unaided, and she was obviously a sweet 17-year-old kid who was not at all well. At every airport, she was asked to stand up from the airport-provided wheelchair, have the chair swabbed for drugs as the staff gathered around and read her Drs note, and then looked at her hospital-provided x-ray, making comments on all the metal inside her, check out her Drs script and all her pain meds. All whilst I was standing there holding her up, and others were streaming through security without a second thought. I had holes in my tongue from biting it so hard, and I admit I said to my daughter quite loudly... 'Now they've assured themselves you're not a Columbian drug lord, and you're for real; do you think you'll get the chair back before you collapse? Everyone was very nice and very apologetic.... but.... REALLY!!! Use your brains, people!
So YAY to your contraband! Down with the big money-hungry corporations - VIVA La Revolution - ....., don't say that loudly at an airport, though, cause I've heard body cavity searches are a little bit ouchy!
there is no real escaping when travelling by plane and through airports. I once was in Rome's airport and just wanted to sip some water. Well, no water fountain was to be found anywhere. With hours of lobby time ahead of me, I bought a small bottle of water for 5 Euros. It tasted probably the same as the sink water in the mens; room. Could have saved me the change.
